Careful consideration has been given to the suggestions set forth in reBulet with regard to ,counterintelligence action in the South Rowan glavern. In proposing that Klan members wear female attire for the purpose of luring Negroes into a trap, the members of the South Rowan Klavern clearly indicated they Sare not "shrinking violets" but are eager to, and feel capable of, engaging Negroes in physical combat. These QKlasamse did not indicate a "desire" to wear female clothing but indicated a necessity for doing so in order to accomplish their objectives. The Bureau's observations as net forth in ReBulet have been discussed with Agents familiar with Klan activities throughout the state and with the Agents who are directly responsible for the investigation of the South Rowan Klavern and its members. All concur that the members of this klavern do not in any way, either in appearance or demeanor, fit the qualifications usually associated with homosexuals EC- 28alt/5-- - - c e Car.lott EX-113 ---- S- 157-281)(1 - 157 230) 7 Approved: Sent M Per Special Agent in Charge 3 FB-36 IR.R. 5-22-64) F BI Date: Transmit the folowing in . • f.T)p e in plaintext or code) .

There are no state statutes dealing directly with tranavestism; however, Section 14-12.7 of the General Statutes of North Carolina states in effect that no person or persons over sixteen shall, while wearing a mask, hood, or device where the person's face or voice is disguised so 71i as to conceal the identity of the wearer, appear on any lane, walkway, alley, street, road, highway, or other public way in the state. The use of this statute possibly could be employed by state authorities in the event the Klan members actually disguise themselves in women's clothing and take the action they have discussed. However, the suggestion to don female attire was only in the form of a proposal, and no information has been received indicating that any action has been instituted to carry out this plan. 1 Inthe event any information is received that members plan to or have engaged in such activities, it is believed local authorities should be furnished the details as a possible violation of Section 14-12.7. Authorization to advise local authorities is requested of the Bureau. 2 Approved: Sent M Per Special Agent in Charge z7 - r n MOMMIN 1-ti. .vPro the ~k io aiss5tis possb eta etat ttaste attl ~~ot ~~U ~ Cbot CREWar rar~/VCouldiDtan to ber a atlewwe Ma humbCae thadavr considee JS war IOMUP 40141athati3leest tW1Uemale nm a cult e oth DOWN attie s le - a in -- a- " of -a tr nacke o earaonlW M" be maet he a* at am t***newlaes ha- item amemaridIlt b ss.. a it** ses '**** ette e s.& IMthe CaeElMati ti NfatnaroR am a encv o -ew ver 18a whl wari ao rnas b pera tact a oS s di e s *n sonfnotionso;t flgjtttt £fth oaUs S- in , r.wT N ;R-ed, apon~ ~rec t of dvie ro ashinOarltPdAG bt plrr~.ar- and submittdt rm eds ter handtli (4) EMS: A UU flavera has considered WIM Carolina wearing foals attire i In reference to possible acts of vielence.

No additional action is being taken by the Charlotte Office pending a request by the Richmond Office and approval of the Bureau. With regard to the income tax returns of for the years 1962, 1963, and 1964 furnished with reBulet, the Charlotte Office is in possession inormationatno indicating that the income claimed by during those years is not correct. The 1964 return is supported by a W-2 form from his employer. While investigation might be productive of information which would show that the information supplied by on these returns is inaccurate, it is believed that this is a function of Internal Revenue Service and should be pursued by that agency rather than the Bureau. If, however, the Richmond Officen l s4 the Bureau approves, contact will be made with employers for the years 1962 and 1963 as shown on his tax returns for the purpose of determinng his actual income from those companies. 2 ie, arlote (1s- p 34// ::--.
